solib-search-path not honoured after program start

- Subject: solib-search-path not honoured after program start
Here's the problem:
Run a program under gdb and break at main. If gdb can't find all the shared
libs, it complains about it like so:
Error while mapping shared library sections:
libtestLib_g.so.1: No such file or directory.
So, at main, if I 'info shared', I see something like this:
>From To Syms Read Shared Object Library
No libtestLib_g.so.1
0xb0312504 0xb0349b06 Yes /t/x86/lib/libc.so.2
If I now go and set solib-search-path such that it can find
libtestLib_g.so.1, and type 'shared', it still doesn't find it.
If I restart the program, there is no problem. For whatever reason, after
the process has started, gdb never tries to find the shlibs again.
I spent some time tracing around but didn't see exactly where this might be
fixable. Looks like solib_open does the searching but isn't called later
on. The shared command calls solib_add which doesn't seem to do any
searching on solib_search_path.
Can/should this be fixed?
cheers,
Kris
